EMS-FORSTER-PRODUCTIONS/DigitalVision via Getty Images The last article that I wrote about Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. ( SFM ), was published back in July of last year. In that article, I reaffirmed the company as a ‘hold’ candidate. Even though I acknowledged that the company was achieving impressive growth when it came to revenue, profits, and store count, I argued that shares were priced at levels that were difficult to justify. I wouldn't go so far as to take a bearish stance on it. But looking back, I probably should have. Shares have plummeted 53.2% since that article came out. By comparison, the S&P 500 is up 4.5%. This plunge, it seems, has been the result of slowing growth, combined with the fact that shares were not cheap at that time. However, I would argue that the market has overreacted to this. Based on the data that's currently available, with management forecasting continued growth on the top line this year and with shares trading at levels that are attractively priced, I believe that upgrading it to a soft ‘buy’ makes a lot of sense here. Even though I am making the decision to upgrade the company right now, it is possible that my mind could change as new data comes in. Interestingly enough, that should not be too far off into the future. Management has made clear to investors that, on April 29th, the company will announce financial results for the first quarter of its 2026 fiscal year. Revenue is expected to rise, but there is the belief among analysts that overall profits will worsen. Although this would be disappointing in and of itself, guidance provided by management for 2026 in its entirety suggests that results for the year won't really be any different than they were in 2025. Shares Are Looking Tasty Odds are, you already know what Sprouts Farmers Market is and what it does. But if you don't, it's helpful to know that the business operates as a specialty natural and organic food retailer that has successfully carved out a nice niche for its...

Media and Technology Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, US, on Thursday, July 10, 2025. David Paul Morris | Bloomberg | Getty Images ServiceNow reported first-quarter results on Wednesday that narrowly beat Wall Street's estimates as the company said the conflict in the Middle East dragged on subscription revenue. Here's how the company performed versus LSEG estimates: Earnings per share : 97 cents adjusted vs. 96 cents expected Revenue : $3.77 billion vs. $3.74 billion expected Revenue for the quarter grew 22% year-over-year. The company reported $469 million in net income, or 45 cents per share, a slight increase from $460 million, or 44 cents per share, a year ago. The software company said in its release that subscription revenue growth during the quarter "saw an approximately 75 basis point headwind from delayed closings of several large on-premise deals in the Middle East, due to the ongoing conflict in the region." The company reported quarterly subscription revenues of $3.67 billion, slightly above the $3.65 billion FactSet expectation. ServiceNow increased its forecast of fiscal 2026 subscription revenues to fall between $15.74 billion and $15.78 billion, up from the forecast it made last quarter of $15.53 billion to $15.57 billion . "Our full year guidance reflects a prudent assessment right now of the geopolitical environment," CFO Gina Mastantuono told CNBC. "I definitely took a little bit of incremental conservatism because of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and its potential impact on deal timing."

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images ServiceNow ( NOW ) shares plummeted 14% during early post-market trading on Wednesday after the enterprise software firm reported its first quarter 2026 financial results, which featured a lower-than-expected gross margin outlook. For the quarter ended March 31, ServiceNow reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.97, which matched the consensus estimate. GAAP EPS was $0.45 compared to the $0.53 estimate. Revenue for the quarter increased 22%, or 19% in constant currency, to $3.77B, which was more than the $3.75B estimate. Its remaining performance obligations surged 25% year over year to $27.7B. Its current remaining performance obligations, contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, were $12.64B as of the end of March. Looking ahead, ServiceNow increased its subscription revenue forecast for the second quarter to range from $3.815B to $3.82B, which clears the $3.75B estimate. It projects full-year subscription revenue ranging from $15.74B to $15.78B, which also surpasses the $15.54B estimate. For the full year, ServiceNow expects a subscription adjusted gross margin of 81.5% versus the estimate of 82.1%. The company attributed the lower margin to the recent acquisitions, but that is expected to normalize by 2027. "In Q1, we exceeded the high end of our topline and profitability guidance metrics, grew free cash flow, and returned capital to shareholders," said ServiceNow President and CFO Gina Mastantuono. "The early close of our Armis acquisition meaningfully expands our TAM and accelerates our subscription revenue growth trajectory. With agentic AI, workflow orchestration, security, and data fabric converging on a single platform, we believe the most compelling chapter in ServiceNow's growth story is just beginning." "As new technologies create both opportunity and risk, our two decades of engineering combined with deep business context enable us to orchestrate and secure the agentic ent...

TomasSereda/iStock via Getty Images Ghana's mining regulator has given Newmont ( NEM ), AngloGold Ashanti ( AU ), and Chinese-owned Zijin ( ZIJMF ) ( ZIJMY ) until December to shift mining operations over to local contractors or face sanctions, Reuters reported Wednesday. The companies currently operate the mines with their own workers - the only ones still doing so after many firms outsourced mining operations ahead of Ghana's move in early 2025 to revise local ownership rules and require all miners to switch to contract mining. Under the new rules, surface mining must be performed by fully Ghanaian-owned firms, while underground mining must be carried out by companies with at least 50% Ghanaian ownership. Newmont's ( NEM ) compliance was discussed during meetings this month between CEO Natascha Viljoen and Ghana's Minerals Commission after the company sought an extension, according to the report . Newmont ( NEM ), which operates the Ahafo North and South gold mines in Ghana, was said to have asked to comply fully by 2027, citing additional regulatory and governance requirements it must satisfy as a listed company. R egulators rejected the request, noting that other listed miners including Gold Fields ( GFI ) have already complied, the report said. AngloGold's ( AU ) only Ghana asset is the relatively small Iduapriem gold mine.
